I have found in my experiences with thre E flat clarinet the instrument and mouthpiece have to be well matched. Some of the inherent traits of the Eb is a tendency to play very sharp and lack of centre in the tone. I currently have a Vandoren B44 which I like but also a Opperman piece which has excellent tuning tendencies....
Embouchure on the Eb is very subtle and requires a good deal of delicacy especially in the alltissimo. Most player tend to "blast" too much on the Eb. Look for a combination reed/mouthpiece set up that allows for control over volume with ease....
Good Luck
